Another Personal, Internet Based Alarm System: InGrid

Yesterday I wrote about Alert Me. Well, I guess the folks at Ingrid are ultra diligent because they contacted me today with their offering. It turns out InGrid is far more affordable (kits range from $129 – $399 and they offer discounts with a yearly contract). The monthly service fee is a bit more, though, $29/month. I don’t see a Key Fob system, which made Alert Me ‘creepy cool’, but InGrid does offer a fully integrated cordless handset. From the handset – there’s also a console – you can name each respective sensor, monitor a baby’s room, make phone calls, store up to 99 contacts, arm or disarm the system and more. Much like Alert Me, InGrid will send you an email or text in the event that the system is alerted.
